Swingtime Big Band
Summer 2010—Bayard Cutting Arboretum – Sundays 2 PM
A recent feature article in The New York Times described the 20-piece SWINGTIME BIG BAND as “Musicians who make the sounds of the pre-rock era rock!” Renowned for its performances of classic music from the Swing Era and the Great American Songbook, SWINGTIME brings to life both the style and the spirit of this timeless music for today’s audiences. Both concert-goers and Ballroom dancers alike have been dazzled by SWINGTIME’s authentic recreations of the classics by such legendary Big Band leaders as Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Tommy Dorsey--among many others.
